Print Recipe

A delightful dish that warms the soul with a rich, velvety broth infused with fresh seafood and hearty vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)
  • 4 cups fish or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 pound mixed seafood (e.g., shrimp, scallops, fish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and their flavors to meld.
  3. Add the cubed potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, thyme, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Gently fold in the mixed seafood and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
  6. Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

For a refreshing twist, add a splash of lemon juice before serving. Top with crispy bacon or toasted bread crumbs for extra texture and flavor.
